Power Tools
Rotary
hammer
Designed for interior or overhead drilling where dust exposure
should be avoided, the 11250VSRD dust collection rotary hammer from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories
is a lightweight and compact tool. The 7.4-pound rotary hammer features

rpm, 4,400 bpm and 1.8 foot-pounds of impact energy. The 11250VSRD
features Bosch’s Micro Filter system and a two-fan design that
captures a high volume of dust particles and reduces exposure to
airborne dust. The company’s canister system is also designed to
minimize dust leakage, even when the hammer is turned upside down. When
it’s time for cleanup, the operator can remove the dust canister with
one hand, and the Micro Filter can be removed for cleanup or
replacement.

Tractor
loader backhoe
John Deere’s 110 tractor
loader backhoe (TLB) features a 43-hp Yanmar diesel engine and the power
and economy of direct fuel injection. The unit converts 75 percent of
its net engine horsepower into hydraulic horsepower and the 110 TLB
starts quickly even in cold weather. The lighter weight and shorter
length of the unit makes it more maneuverable and easier to transport
than larger construction units. The 110 TLB also features John Deere’s
LoadMatch load sensing drive system that minimizes stalling and
maximizes productivity.

Skid-mounted
spot sprayers
TurfEx, a new product division of TrynEx International, introduces
its line of skid-mounted spot sprayers. Designed to mount into the bed
of any utility vehicle or pickup, the spot sprayers are suited for weed
spraying, turf maintenance, tree and flower watering and pest control
applications. The sprayers are available with a 50- or 100-gallon tank.
Both units feature fully corrosion-resistant polyethylene tank
construction, 50-foot hoses on 100-foot capacity manual-rewind hose
reels and long spray wands with trigger actuation. Featuring 12-volt
diaphragm pumps, the sprayers connect to the carrying vehicle’s
electrical system for operation. The pumps move liquid at a rate of 5
gpm at 40 psi.

utility and homeowner markets. The unit is powered by a Honda 5.5-hp
gasoline engine and has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. The
106 has travel speeds up to 3.5 mph, which reduces labor cycle time and
allows the user to move material twice as fast as with a traditional
wheelbarrow, according to the manufacturer. It is designed to carry
bulky loads in its 10-cubic-foot bucket, which has a carrying capacity
of up to 850 pounds.

three-phase prime 18 kW. The unit also produces 440,000 lumens of light,
enough to illuminate up to 5 to 7 jobsite acres and has a fuel capacity
sufficient to run more than 24 hours. The microprocessor controller
simplifies operation with LED indicator lights, metering displays and
seven engine safety warnings and shutdowns. A four-point outrigger/jack
support stance assures maximum unit stability on rugged construction
sites. The tubular-steel mast can extend up to 30 feet and has a
360-degree rotation with a locking system.

Diesel
generators
Subaru introduces a new
line of diesel generators powered by Hatz four-cycle, single-cylinder
diesel engines. The RGD3300H uses a 6.8-hp Hatz 1B30 engine with a rate
output of 3,000 watts, while the larger RGD5000H (pictured) uses a
9.9-hp Hatz 1B40 for a rated output of 5,000 watts. Both models have
electric starters with recoil backup, while GFCI receptacles and
fuseless circuit breakers protect the current level. Both models also
include a full-power switch, voltmeter and 12-volt DC charging, as well
as a spark arrestor that lessens both noise and ignition risk. Large
4.4-gallon fuel tanks allow for hours of continuous operation, while a
low-oil shutdown system prevents damage to the engine should lubrication
levels drop.

Understanding
the Basics: How to Select the Right Engine-Driven Welder for the
Job
By Eric Snyder, Lincoln Electric
Engine-driven welders are generally used when electric power
isn’t available for arc welding. Usually these are outdoor
applications. However, engine-drive welders are often used for indoor
applications when it is not convenient to supply power to electric
“plug-in” arc welders.
The basic considerations when choosing an engine-driven welder are:
• Application
• Engine Type
• Portability
• AC Generator Power
Application
When selecting an engine drive, the first thing to consider is the
application. Ask yourself these five questions:
1. Is this new construction or a repair job? Also, what is the size of
the project?
2. Is there a particular welding process you would like to use? You may
want to stick with a process with which you feel most comfortable, or
there may be a certain process required on the job.
3. Is this a pipe welding project? The equipment chosen needs to produce
an arc suitable for this type of work.
4. Will the job require arc gouging? Arc gouging is repair work usually
done in industrial jobs.
5. What type of material needs to be welded? Most of the time the
material will be a common mild steel plate. However, if it’s aluminum,
the welding will require different equipment.
Engine Type
Diesel, gasoline or liquid propane gas (LPG) are the choices. A diesel
engine offers better fuel economy than a gasoline engine, and diesel
fuel does not ignite as easily as gasoline. Another consideration for
large jobs is whether the fuel is being supplied at the job site. If
so, it is usually diesel, but whatever the fuel, the cost savings will
usually determine the engine choice.
Gasoline engines are sometimes preferred in cold weather climates
because they start more easily without extra starting aids, such as
ether start kits and winterized fuel for colder weather.
LPG is much less common, but becomes an important alternative choice
when diesel and gasoline exhaust emissions are not permitted for indoor
applications.
Portability
Sometimes the need for portability will be the main factor in equipment
selection. If an engine-driven welder needs to be carried or lifted to
a work area, having a small gasoline stick welder will normally be the
best answer.
AC Generator Power
AC power is sometimes required on the jobsite for grinding welds or
lighting when working at night. Generally, 3,000 watts of AC generator
power is plenty of power for these applications. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCIs) are recommended and may be required. Powering an
AC TIG welder or plasma cutter will require more wattage – typically
8,000 watts minimum.
